How it works

Each SportsHeroes overlay is a web page that draws the live score on a transparent background. Streaming software shows it as a layer on top of your camera feed. When the scorer records a ball, the overlay changes within about a second: runs, wickets, overs, the batters on strike and the bowler.

  1. Create your tournament and match in the SportsHeroes dashboard.
  2. Open "Overlay Links" for the match and copy the overlay you want.
  3. In OBS, add a Browser source, paste the link and set it to 1920 × 1080. In vMix, add a Web Browser input with the same size.
  4. Start scoring. The overlay follows every ball for the rest of the match.

Works with the software you already use

Any streaming tool that can show a web page as a source works: OBS Studio, Streamlabs, vMix and XSplit. You can also open the overlay in a normal browser for simple screen-sharing setups.

Themes and graphics

Choose the look that suits your broadcast. Ticker themes include Classic, Minimal, ICC-style, Modern, Stadium, Blade and an IPL-style design, alongside a full scorecard and a lower third.

From the scoring screen you can put a full-screen graphic on air at the right moment, then return to the live score:

  • Tournament name, team vs team and toss details before the first ball.
  • Current partnership, the batter who is out, and runs needed in a chase.
  • Field positions, both team squads and the match summary.
  • Opening ceremony and prize distribution graphics for the big occasions.

Built for grounds with weak internet

Live sport at local grounds often runs on a single mobile connection. The scorer can keep recording balls offline; they are saved on the phone and sent in order when the signal returns, and the overlay then catches up. If the overlay itself loses connection, it keeps the last score on screen rather than going blank, and reconnects on its own.

Your brand on every graphic

The free Starter plan shows a small watermark. The ₹100 Day Pass removes it for 24 hours of unlimited matches. Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly plans add white-label branding: your colours, your logo and your sponsors' logos on the overlays.

Frequently asked questions

Which streaming software works with SportsHeroes overlays?

Any software that supports a browser or web source, including OBS Studio, Streamlabs, vMix and XSplit.

What size should the browser source be?

Set the browser source to 1920 by 1080. The overlay is designed for a full-HD canvas and draws only the graphics, so your camera shows through.

How fast does the overlay update?

The overlay changes within about a second of the scorer recording a ball, as long as the scoring phone and the streaming computer are online.

Can I remove the SportsHeroes watermark?

Yes. The Day Pass and the Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly plans have no watermark. The monthly and longer plans also add your own colours, logo and sponsor logos.

My overlay is not updating. What should I check?

Check the internet connection on the streaming computer, then refresh the browser source in OBS. Ticking "Refresh browser when scene becomes active" in the source properties also helps.
